Hi! Erwin,
Love your diorama, I really love your attention to detail
I'm building the same Custom Dioramics Diorama, full of faults, a really tricky assembly! Mine will have an Trumpeter BR86... 😄
I will save those beautiful images from the sginal tower to guide myself, only for reference, if I may! 😄
Cheers mate
Keep the good modelling
Keep posting

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for your compliments. Construction alone is quite a hassle indeed. I therefore try to do my best to camouflage this by detail and painting. Progress is slow, but I learn to use new techniques every time.
Off course I'm more than happy to share my experience with you. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.
I just added some more photos of the wallpaper and the wainscoting

@Olivier, because I've been doing figures since March... 🙂

Just finished a little nurse from Preiser. Not a brilliant casting, but a subject too interesting not to include. I modified it by making her collect money instead of bringing coffee for the soldiers on Frontürlaub, and added a hood to her greatcoat.
Pictures in album.
16 September 2019, 14:08
![](/profiles/img/36520-216-s.jpg)
Yes, she does 🙂
The painting of the skirt posed yet another challenge for my growing painting skills, as the Vallejo paint tends to dry too fast for longer stripes. Specially the white paint. I used glaze medium to solve this and, while not ideal, this makes the result a lot better.
17 September 2019, 06:08
![](/profiles/img/10232-810-s.jpg)
Hi Erwin, what a unbelievable big project! Its lovely to see, how much heart you put in the little details! Really a feast for the eyes! Are the decals included in the kit?
17 September 2019, 11:52
![](/profiles/img/36520-216-s.jpg)
Holger, thank you for your heartwarming comments. I really appreciate them. I finally near completion after I don't know how long. The building of the loc has been at a stand still for 10 years or more, so I don't know how long that took me. The station and signal tower took me more than a year, while I started painting the figures in march. The last ones are nearly done. I have painted 40 human figures, a cat and a dog when finished. Now busy with the last details of the figures and accessories for the dio, like suitcases, crates, a cart, sacks, etc.
As for your question: no, these are Peddinghaus decals. I cannot really reccomend them. Besides the fact that the slogan is from the inside of a bunker of Batterie Todt (found that one out only later: [img1][\img] ) the carrier film is way too thick, and the text is split in half HORIZONTALLY!!!!! I can understand this for the swastika, but this was also the case for the slogan. It is almost impossible to cut it so that there is no seam visible, and on closer observation of the model, this is certainly visible... Having said this, the kit decals ware even worse for their subject, and there are no alternatives. So I had little choice...
17 September 2019, 13:23

I am really looking forward your end result. Or cant such a dio ever be finished?

I sincerely do hope so... As stated, it took me long enough... My intention is to have it ready this year. Probably next month or so...
18 September 2019, 12:24
![](/profiles/img/36520-216-s.jpg)
Finally! Completed... Just uploaded the picture of this (for me) monnumental project. With a large steam engine, 40 figures, a cat, a dog an lots of accessoiries, this project took a long time to finish, but finally it is done... I hope you enjoy the pictures. Questions and remarks more than welcome...

WOW!! Amazing me Son!! I started to look for some inspersion tonight since I could only find a few dioramas on line, then found yours! looks like what I had in Mind!
Outstanding work Erwin!! from the ground work, figures, weathering and BR-52.....etc etc! I have the BR-52 and a few cars! I am planning on turning two of the small flatbeds into a couple of passenger cars! Question: do you have any info on the small passenger cars used by Germany? and could you tell me where did you get the decals for your BR-52, I've seen so many modelers with the black/red and camo versions, not sure if they are accurate for the early war years. But your Engine looks the most realistic so far!!
Thanks
Eddie

Gentlemen, I thank you. @Edward. I am humbled to hear that I am an inspiration to you. What I basically did is make up all, kind of small stories around the combination of station and Br-52, to depict the real world. Everyone has his/her own motivation to be somewhere and to go somewhere else. A station is thé place where these stories come together, albeit for a short while.
The type you commonly encounter in those days is the so called Donnerbüchse. If you search this, you are bound to get enough information.
As for the decals, they are from Peddinghaus, though I do not recommend them. The design is awful, with the text split in two horizontal,. That is, the actual middle sentence is split!
Plus the carrier film is very, very thick! Getting them on is a hassle and it is impossible to hide the edges...
15 August 2020, 21:44
![](/profiles/img/19586-741-s.jpg)
Thank for the help Erwin! your right about the small stories, that is the basis for most Dioramas we as models build!
I looked up the Donnerbuchse and yes; I found the info I was looking for, so thanks. as for the decals, I found them on the Peddinghaus web site and they look crappy, but you did a very good job of placing them on your BR-52!
Well take care and stay safe!
Thanks
Eddie

My pleasure. On hindsight I regret using those decals, yet, on the other hand: a really viable alternative is lacking, since the kit decals are so bad, subject wise...

Hi, thank you for posting this amazing kit! It looks freaking awesome! I have been modeling for years. I've been into old steam locos since I was a kid. Is was thinking about doing this kit. I read an old review on Fine Scale Modeler. The reviewer said this kit is a hassle to put together. I am wondering if there were any major issues that you ran across.... I am also looking at the Revell 1/87 Big Boy kit also. But it doesn't look like it's very detailed.
Any suggestions for someone just getting into train building? (I do have experience in other genres, so I do have some skills building already)
2 June 2023, 02:39
![](/profiles/img/36520-216-s.jpg)
Thanks for your kind words. I still look at this dio on a daily basis and am still happy with the results...
As for the difficulty of the engine: I can't remember any big issues with it (though it has been a couple of years since I finished it) . I did build it OOB, with only the real black coals and aforementioned decals added.
Handling the kit for painting was perhaps the biggest problem.
One thing : if you intend to do it as a war loc, paint it dark grey. The black over red livery is post war only.
I have no particular tips, but do try to think logically when painting. If you first assemble the kit completely, you wouldn't be able to reach every nook and cranny with paint. And study pictures of the real thing for weathering. Though there are no locomotives in this livery running these days, the placement of grease and soot isn't any different on the surviving samples as it would be during the war.
